Energetisches in Philosophie und Künsten
Series:  dynamis
Volume Editors: and
„Kraft“, ein Zentralbegriff der Philosophie, ist auch ein gemeinsames Anliegen in den Künsten. Zusammen mit dem Begriff der „Energie“ wurden diese Schlüsselbegriffe der Moderne im Verlauf des 20. Jahrhunderts zu Leitbegriffen neuer ästhetischer Ausrichtungen. Wo immer es in den Künsten nicht mehr um Abbildung, Reproduktion oder Repräsentation geht, sondern vielmehr darum, das Blatt Papier, die Leinwand, den Hörraum oder einen theatralen, filmischen und intermedialen Raum mit Kräften zu bevölkern, da werden zunehmend energetische Konzepte entwickelt. Da der Begriff heute häufig metaphorisch vage benutzt und gerne auch esoterisch jeder Überprüfung entzogen wird, widmet sich dieser Sammelband auf interdisziplinären Denkwegen verschiedenen theoretischen Ansätzen. Dabei gilt es, Bewegendes und Verwandelndes, Erregungen, Empfindungen und Eindrücke, zu versprachlichen, analytisch nutzbar und energetische künstlerische Konzepte zugänglich zu machen.

The studies included in Mythogenesis, Interdiscursivity, Ritual — written in honor of Professor Demetrios Yatromanolakis, a pioneering and influential scholar — shed new light on a variety of areas: the encounters of ancient Greece with other societies and cultures in antiquity; the interplay between art (vase-painting and sculpture) and broader ideological developments/ mentalities in antiquity; ritual in ancient Greek contexts; political ideologies and religion; history of scholarship, textual criticism/critical editing, and hermeneutics; the reception of myth and of archaic and classical Greek culture and philosophy in diverse discursive, mediatic, and sociocultural contexts — from early twentieth-century painting, to modernism and the avant-garde, to Foucauldian thought.

Islamic Sensory History, Volume 2: 600–1500 presents a selection of texts translated into English from Arabic and Persian. These selected texts all offer illustrative engagements with issues related to the sensorium in different times, places, and social milieus throughout the early and medieval history of Islamic societies. Each chapter is prefaced by an introductory essay by the translator, with specific attention to the role of the senses in the translated text’s language, genre, and social context.

This monograph spotlights women writers’ contributions to the philosophy of German Romanticism. Dorothea Mendelssohn Veit Schlegel, Rahel Levin Varnhagen, Karoline von Günderrode, and Bettina Brentano von Arnim suggested a new vision for an emancipated community of women that develops through philosophical discourse of Progressive Universal Poetry. Their personal, fictionalized, and literary letters reinvent and retheorize the Romantic notions of sociability, symphilosophy, and sympoetry, as theorized by men, and retheorize the concepts of love. They provided a model for shaping intellectual and cultural life in the modern world while challenging rigid dichotomies of classs, gender, and ethnicity.

Wolfgang Welsch demonstrates for the first time that transculturality – the mixed constitution of cultures – is by no means only a characteristic of the present, but has de facto determined the composition of cultures since time immemorial. The historical transculturality is demonstrated using examples from the arts. While transculturality was often viewed with reservation where political, social, or psychological levels were at stake, it was rather welcomed and appreciated in the field of art. The book therefore demonstrates the historical prevalence of transculturality via all areas of art and does so with respect to all cultures and continents of our world.
